We ordered the prawns without the peppers and they were excellent. We also ordered the Greek salad and the tomatoes tasted like they'd just been picked from the vine. The very best tomatoes I've ever eaten.

SPANAKOPITA (3 pieces) was very delicious, 3 crispy pieces, came with a couple of olives. Hard to get Spanakopita wrong, but their version was great, and tasted fresh. Would definitely order again. I also had AVGOLEMONO CHICKEN SOUP , this was extremely delicious and flavorful, light, lemony, and refreshing yet filling with nice chunks of chicken, and vegetables. I also had the 8oz TZATZIKI (no pita), beware it doesn't come with pita, you have to order separate, but still very delicious, thick and tasty.

Their homemade chips were pretty good, not too salty. The HOMEMADE PITA (6 pieces) was thicker and a bit harder than I'm used to. I had to slice it into thin pieces. the 8oz EGGPLANT SPREAD (no pita) and 8oz TZATZIKI (no pita) were very tasty. I would order the chips and dips again.

The worst Taverna experience. We've been to taverna several times and the delivery experience is never comparable but today everything was off except the tzatziki which is consistently excellent.
The CHICKEN SOUVLAKI (4 pieces) and HOMEMADE BREAD ROLL were extremely dry and not warm.
The 8oz EGGPLANT SPREAD (no pita) tasted spoiled - vinegary.
Also the oil leaked out of the eggplant all over the bag and food because container was not properly sealed.
Will not order again

GRILLED PRAWNS (1/2 pound) were under seasoned.
LAMB RIBLETS (1/2 pound) were also underseasoned and fat not rendered enough.
Was hoping to find a replacement for Evvia as they are always busy and dont deliver. Unfortunately this meal didnt hit the mark.
